  1. (female) Chickens lay a single egg every day, unless some factor of their life changes (food quantity, light periods, water and bedding.) or if they get scared or start to brood.

    So you could safely say that after the start laying, you would get between 300-365 eggs in a year, but don't expect 365, cause they might need a break, or any of the above conditions.

    P.S. regardless of the breed of chicken, they generally lay an egg a day.


  2. Sorry to contradict your previous respondent but there are significant differences in  egg production between  breeds. This is further complicated by length of daylight, feed etc. Araucanas, whilst hardy birds, generally go off the lay in the late autumn / winter (November to March??). You might get an egg a week or less. They lay more frequently (4-5 per week) in the spring/summer. They are lovely birds with unusual green or blue-shelled eggs and definitely worth keeping.
